Fractal Dimensions of Rock Fracture: An Analysis of the Dartmoor Granite, S. W. England

Abstract

Two field visits have been made to Dartmoor which have confirmed the suitability of 8 sites and have identified several other possible sites. Plans are now well-in-hand for the summer period of main data collection. An extensive literature review of the use of fractals in the earth sciences has been undertaken which has confirmed the lack of previous work and the pioneering nature of the project.
